Really nice to visit the restaurants under our own steam and not be bearded around in groups. Variety of restaurants excellent and felt welcome at everyone we visited. Would definitely recommend The Restaurant Tour.

Very nice to do on a Sunday afternoon. Nice to get to know new restaurants. All participants did their very best to serve us delicious dishes. All dishes were tasty and particularly innovative.

What a wonderful, sociable way to spend a Sunday afternoon, sampling different restaurants that we probably wouldn’t have tried, but will definitely visit again now👍Something for everyone, walking, talking, great fun, clever app, will definitely be booking again. Thank you🙏🏻
Liverpool
All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
Birmingham
This was an amazing tour. It was our first time and we enjoyed having the freedom of no guide and on our own timescales.

We had a great day. Every restaurant was very friendly and very well organised. Just trying a sample of their delicious meals is enough to make us want to visit them again. The variety in the dishes was brilliant, from Indian tapas, sliders, Spanish, Vietnamese, pizza and cheese & crackers, we had it all, together with the lovely drink accompaniments. Would highly recommend to anyone, great value for money.

My husband and I went in the Glasgow Merchant City Restaurant Tour. At each restaurant the food was wonderful and we got drink for each course too. We could tour as quickly or as slowly as we wanted and we had plenty of time to visit all restaurants. We definitely plan to go on another tour and will know it is so good to buy as a gift! I have recommended this tour to friends and colleagues who have also taken the opportunity to go on a food tour!
